Whoops, I meant to do Sastre too. I'd love to see Wiggins win, but it's not going to happen. He's already said that he will take his foot off the gas at some point, presumably the third week, and save himself for the Tour.

What I want from this race is a repeat of Evans and Sastre's thrilling battle in the Tour two years ago.

Gibo for sentimental reasons. Out of the realistic candidates: Vino. They have something in common. Both had a very aggressive, attacking style (often almost suicidal) and they made racing interesting to watch.

Really surprised Basso isn't getting more love. He was so popular before his suspension but he really seems to have lost his support. On the other hand, Vino is getting a bunch of votes.

Don't be. he will not get the same support until he makes the same result as in 2005-2006. Everyone loves a winner, even though they are on the juise. Just look at Vino.

To the poll. it's Vino for me. Always loved him. By the way. Evans will (and I hope) probably crash out and break some bones during the last week. Been a while since. He's got the odds against him.

I voted Sastre and Nibali. Either to win the maglia rosa would be fine, though I'd give a slight preference to Sastre. I don't think Sastre has many more years left to be a GC contender so he may be down to counting fingers on one hand as to how many realistic opportunities he has left.

People like you are the reason doping continues to exist in this sport, to openly support a drug cheat is down right disgusting.

You should honestly be ashamed of yourself, the sport will never be clean while people still support the ones who are willing to cheat, riders like Vino should wear a big "I AM A DRUG CHEAT" sign on their jersey's until the day they retiree.

Does this proposal of your works for Millar, Basso or only riders of lowly, non-arian races have to be branded?

The same goes for all drug cheats, Vino gets his special mention because a staggering 26% of people on this poll "want" him to win.

Oh, i see.

So now it's not about your racism?

It's about your jealousy and ****-hurt?

Jealousy? It is about not liking cheats plain and simple.

People who cheat to get ahead are scum its just that simple, by supporting it your supporting a drug culture history that has been in cycling for generations.

I would love to see a TDF run knowing every rider is clean, until then anyone that attacks begs the question was that pure brilliance or is he pumped full of something?

Then i say you should quit being a fan of cycling (goodhearted and sincere advice).

With that attitude of yours you will never be able to enjoy anything about it for the time being.

Unless you like your fits of hate and want to have have them as often as possible.

I am able to enjoy certain feats it just depends on the riders involved. People like Wiggins, Sastre, Evans give some faith the sport isn't completely doped up.

You should really avoid talking about having a fit seeing as you are having a dummy spit right now about me attacking Vino. If you want to be a fan boy of a doper don't let me stop you but don't expect everyone else to love them as well.

Why don't you take your idiot BS to the clinic? That's what it's for.

If this 'drug culture' has been part of cycling for generations, that's the sport I grew up to love. If you can't handle the insecurity of not knowing if a rider doped or if you honestly believe the apologists, this sport is not for you.

As the great Rudi Altig once said: "We're not athletes, we're cyclists"

I don't know publicly saying that someone should wear an equalient of "Juden" badge for the rest of the life because of your personal superstitions sounds like fit of hate to me.

If it's not... I really don't want to be near you when you will have a REAL FIT OF HATE.
